If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
1. Slowly press down on the accelerator pedal to
get your vehicle moving again. For an all-
wheel drive vehicle, set the drive mode-sel
ector to the “4WD AUTO” or “4WD LOCK”
position (Electronically cont
rolled 4WD), “SNOW” or “L
OCK” position (S-AWC) and
then slowly press down on the accelera
tor pedal to get your vehicle moving.
2. If there is nothing to stop your tires from sli
pping, rock your vehicle out of the stuck posi-
tion.
P. 8-19
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehi
cle out of a stuck position, be su
re that no one is near the ve
hicle. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wh
eels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve
hicle may result in
overheating and transa
xle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after
several rocking attempts
, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

5. Press the engine switch. 6. Confirm that all wa
rning lights and warn-
ing displays are functioning properly.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditio
ning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal, pressthe accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank th
e engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after theengine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then press the engineswitch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, push the engine switch
to stop cranking the
engine, and release th
e accelerator pedal.
Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait a few seconds, and then press the engine switch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal, but do notpush the accelerator
pedal. If the engine
fails to start, repeat
these procedures. If
the engine still will
not start, contact your
local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choi
ce for assistance.
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lowerWhen the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector leverin the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans-axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) positionand let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally.Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordance with driving conditions for maximum engine performance.

NOTE
The engine can only be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position.For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the driving wheelslock.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

r pedal is depressed.
Stopping the engine
WA R N I N GDo not operate the en
gine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If theengine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will ce
ase to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,the power steering system will not func- tion and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering. This couldresult in a serious accident.

This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly with your right foot. 4. Make sure the selector
lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the
ignition switch when
the engine starts.
After several attemp
ts, you may experience
that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditio

Automatic transaxle will automaticallychange its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-71. The transaxle prevents
unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine
braking. This may
help reduce your need
to use the service
brake.
N00513801424
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with an automatic transaxle have a shift-lock device that
holds the selector lever
in the “P” (PARK) position. To move theselector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.

after reconnecting the
battery, your vehicle
may not shift smoothly.
This does not indi-
cate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted several
times by the electronic
control system.

The selector lever cannot
be moved from “P”

When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition while the brake pedal is pressed and held down with the operation mode in ON, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech-anism may be malfunctioning. Immediately have your
vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If you need to move the vehicle, shift theselector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied. 2. Stop the engine if it is running.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector
lever into a gear from the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. When beginning to drive, do not shift theselector lever from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the accelerator pedal. This will cause the vehicle to“jump” forward or backward.NOTE
To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop brie
fly at each position.
After operating, chec
k the position in the
multi-information display. If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device ac
tivates to prevent the
selector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position. For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If you attempt to move theselector lever before depressing the brake pedal, the selector lever may become immovable.
